More than 100,000 march in far-right London protest
While more than 100,000 demonstrators, rival demonstrations, the police packaged the streets of London for a walk by the far -right activist Tommy Robinson.
The United Kingdom Rally, a large number of protesters organized by the stand to racial group, which was gathered under the flag of march against fascism, began.
More than 1000 police officers were in charge to patrol the duel demonstrations, and there was a buffer zone to prevent them from interacting with each other near the government halls.
The marches were largely peaceful, but at some point, the police said that some members of the Unite Kingdom Hike, who threw them the goods and tried to break the barriers established to keep the two groups separately.
Metropolitan police said that civil servants had to use the force to prevent the violation of the crowded control fence.
Police predicted the crowd in the Robinson Rally to about 110,000 people.
The opponent protest made about 5000 marches.
At one point, he reached the corner from the Waterloo train station, along the Thames River from the larger crowd Big Ben.
Although the crowd was large, a pro -Palestinian rally was far below one of the last marches in November 2023, where 300,000 people had drew an estimated 300,000 people.
Robinson, whose real name was Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and known for his nationalist and anti-immigrant views, invoiced the march as a demonstration for a free speech and also defended British heritage and culture.
The walks come at a time when the UK is discussed to arrive on the shore without giving authority on immigrants passing the British channel on the extremely crowded bottled boats.
In recent months, a 14 -year -old girl in the suburb of London was arrested by a man who was convicted of sexual assault, and a large number of anti -immigrant protests except for the residences of the asylum seekers.
Some of these protests were intensified and led to arrests.
Participants in the Unite The Kingdom March carried St George’s Red-White flag of England and Union Jack, the United Kingdom’s state flag.
“We want our country to return,” they mentioned.
The British flags have increased in the UK – events and in the lamps of the village – in the UK, and some reflect a slope towards nationalism.
Some Robinson supporters organized signs “Stop boats”, “Send them home” and “enough, save our children”.
In the opposite protest, crowded “Welcome to Refugees” and “Multiply the right” signs.
Robinson supporters mentioned Punt Rindens about British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and also shouted messages of support to the US conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
A demonstrator made a sign that said, “Freedom of speech died. Rip Charlie Kirk”.
Robinson had planned a unit of a kingdom rally last October, but he could not participate in the court after being imprisoned for violating the 2021 Supreme Court decision, which prevented it from repeating against a Syrian refugee who suffered a succession.
He was previously sentenced to prison for attack and mortgage fraud.
Robinson founded the nationalist and Islamist British Defense League and is one of the most influential right -wing figures of England.
He urged his followers not to wear a mask, not to drink or to take violence.
